The Team Flow Institute is the outgrowth of decades of research, practice and exploration focused on fixing what is broken with work, with industrial capitalism, and with the way most organizations have approached remote work.
After meeting at the Web 3.1 Leadership Summit, founders Chris Heuer and Jaime Schwarz have invested the last 18 months bringing this idea, this new institution to life. Along the way, we realized that AI was an integral component to achieving team flow and had already done that for us with our meeting transcripts.
The Team Flow Institute is on a path to become a public benefit corporation, and more so, a platform co-operative, ultimately owned and governed at least in part by its members.
We know better, and it is time for us to do better. We can not wait. The moment is now. We must design a better way for us to work together. We must leverage the research and practices that have been found to produce the best results. We must work differently when working remotely then when working in shared office space.
Chris Heuer is a visionary, a catalyst, and a human capitalist. While starting his first company in 1994, he realized the ability of smart people to work well together was the most important factor of success. In 2000 he wrote The Noble Pursuit. In 2011 he was a Specialist Leader at Deloitte spearheading the Social Business practice and representing Deloitte on IBM’s Social Business Council. Upon leaving Deloitte, he launched Alynd, a platform based on many of the collaboration principles of team flow. At the beginning of the pandemic, he launched Remotely Global and now returns to his lifelong mission with the launch of the Team Flow Institute.
Jaime Schwarz is a creative, a futurist, and a brand therapist. After a dozen award-winning years as a copywriter and creative director at agencies like BBDO and Dentsu, he formed his first agency called Pro4Bono focused on building out new lines of revenue for do-good companies. In 2018 he began filing a family of patents in the web3 space for a trademark for the metaverse, a metamark, in service of virtual object sovereignty and an open metaverse. While developing the discipline of brand therapy, which empowers brands to speak for themselves, he not only consulted for dozens of companies, but co-founded many across betterment, education, organizational design, and web3. With The Team Flow Institute, Jaime is excited to bring betterment, organizational design, and emerging technology together in service of team autonomy, efficiency, and empowerment.
The Team Flow Institute is studying the nature of human work in the era of artificial intelligence, specifically researching what it takes for people to collaborate well together. Based on the research insights of Dr. Jef van den Hout, we teach and practice his principles for creating high performing teams, expanding on them with rituals and practices that leverage emerging technologies to increase effectiveness, well-being, and performance.
